Why Tree Roots Are a Big Problem in Melbourne
Tree roots are the #1 cause of blocked sewers and drains in Melbourne.
As pipes age, tiny cracks in old clay or concrete pipes let roots sneak in. Once inside, they grow quickly, causing:
Frequent blockages and slow drains
Costly repairs if left untreated
Cracked or collapsed sewer pipes
Sewage leaks that damage your property
Unpleasant odors inside and outside the home
70% of sewer blockages in Melbourne are caused by tree roots
Roots thrive in the moisture inside old pipes.
Roots grow back if not properly treated
Clearing them temporarily won’t solve the problem long-term.
Untreated root damage can cost $20,000+ in repairs
Sewage leaks destroy landscaping, driveways, and even building foundations.

Over the Easter weekend I had a blocked sewer with it overflowing inside my bathroom Having no idea what to do, Corie from the prince of drains come out and fixed it for me. He has a young family himself and for him to come out and make sure I didn’t have sewer inside my property over this time of need just shows the company he works for Emergency plumbers you know you can rely on, look no further than airpro.

Absolutely amazing service from the Prince Of Drains!
I had an urgent plumbing issue at my Airbnb and they came out the same day, which was such a relief. Jake and his team were not only professional and efficient but also incredibly friendly. They fixed the problem quickly, and thanks to them, my next guests were able to check in on time without a hitch.
I honestly can’t thank them enough. Highly recommend the Prince Of Drains for any plumbing needs – reliable, fast, and a pleasure to deal with.
